You may be wondering why the change took so long. The image of Jones accompanied images of Robert Neyland, the former Vols coach the stadium is named for, in the center and Reggie White on the right side. Those images are enormous — approximately 30 feet by 30 feet — and a crane was required for the removal. It took months for the university, specifically the Vol Network, to get everything in order to make the change.

According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, all three images, not just Jones, will be replaced. A new Neyland image will remain in the center while the replacement for White has not been divulged publicly yet.

Jones was fired on Nov. 12, a day after the Vols fell to 4-6 overall and 0-6 in SEC play. In five years with the program, Jones had a 34-27 overall record with just a 14-24 conference mark.
